Some Like It Queer

More about the first Iteration of this project:

INSTALLATION & PERFORMANCE at Love Lane Wildlife Garden, Penzance
Part of OFF GRID Art Trail, by Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange

A sanctuary of queer love. Queer love may not be illegal in the UK anymore, but it still doesn’t get much visibility. And when it does, it is watered-down to be made ‘acceptable’ to see: a very minimal, subtle, innocent and often sexless representation in the media, and a general ‘taboo' attitude towards talking about it. This installation wants to create a space of recognition and celebration, because there is so much more to queer love than coming out, hugging and holding hands!

Performance, Monday 20 June, 6.30pm:

Taking place within the installation, this duet performance is a window into a world of possibilities of what queer love can be. Inspired by the use of codes & signalling in the queer community, historically as well as from personal experiences, these vignettes seek to make the invisible visible.

Devised and performed by Claud Tonietto & Rowan For Now

Advisory: this piece deals with themes of a sexual nature

Free to attend. Get in touch if you’d like to come!
The performance will start at 6.30pm and last about 20 minutes, but you can take some time before and/or after to walk around the garden and see the rest of the installation. And if you can’t make it for the performance but would like to see the installation, come along earlier in the day - we’ll likely be in the space for most of the day.
